13.0.0 Upgrade issues

Experience Manager (PaaS/OnPrem)

Hello.

I am currently trying to upgrate Bloomreach from version 12.6.25 to version 13.0.0

I was able to run the new version locally with -Pcargo.run but when I deploy the application to an environment like a VM (where I use the Tomcat version 8.5.68) I am getting the below error:

check your tomcat shared library versions…

also, upgrade to the latest 13 version, not sure why you chose 13.0.0

Thank you for you reply machak.

I seached in the shared library for the jar contatining that class but could not find it.
I was able to find it on the project that I run on my local which leads me to believe that there could be an issue while I am packing my project with the dist command.

The issue was that I was missing the library hst-api from the shared library folder. We have in our project a custon xml file for the Maven assembly plugin which was not including this library.

After adding the hst-api library on the shared library folder the issue dissapeard from the logs but now I am getting the following errors:
